I have a list of my favourite places to stay in London which I regularly share with friends coming to town.
And now the Kimpton Fitzroy has edged its way towards the top.
This 334-room hotel offers everything you could want; style, sophistication and great service.
Its central location is another major plus and it's right by Russell Square tube station, with major attractions such as the British Museum and Covent Garden on the doorstep.
Even from the outside, this place impresses with an elegant 19th century facade.
The building was built in 1898 and designed by Charles Fitzroy Doll - w...

I hadn’t been to The Bloomsbury Hotel for some years but on a recent visit there I couldn’t believe the transformation.
The historic 153-room property underwent a multi-million pound refurbishment last year masterminded by interiors pro Martin Brudnizki, who has worked on iconic London venues such as The Ivy and Scott’s.
The place now oozes sex appeal, with luxuriously warm interiors enveloping you from the bustling concrete world outside.
A few of my friends had mentioned the Coral Room, which is an impressive bar located on the ground floor but I ventured to the hotel on a Monday night to...

Stepping into the Bloomsbury Club Bar feels like stepping into a scene from The Great Gatsby; atmospheric lighting sets the tone, with beautiful wait staff swishing round in fringing and feathers.

Well for one night you can be; sip a classy cocktail in their seductive bar or drink al fresco on their spacious terrace.

A fabulous new Spanish stallion has pitched up and revealed itself in Bloomsbury. The venue I am referring to is Salvador and Amanda, a beautiful new Tapas restaurant spread over two floors. Their stunning interior changes everywhere you look, a light holiday vibe, high chairs at the bar or more traditional tables on the ground floor, casual and fun, the perfect lunch catch-up. This is where I enjoyed my "mini" break to Spain!
I loved the colored walls and framed family pictures, some with a comical feel to them in their thick golden frames. You can follow their trail upstairs where you have ...

Bloomsbury will be awash with Balearic food, music, art and culture as Salvador & Amanda launches here later this month.
The latest in a long line of inspired openings by Eric Yu, whose Breakfast Group portfolio includes the likes of Opium, Jerusalem, Punk and The Social, Salvador & Amanda will feature fine dining restaurant Cadaqués, a buzzing tapas and cocktail bar and late night sets from some of the capital’s hottest DJs.
Named in honour of the legendary Salvador Dalí – he of the melting clocks and magnificent moustache - and his gorgeous muse Amanda Lear, Salvador & Aman...
